Manchester United baffled by Thomas Tuchel’s continued omission of Luke Shaw from England squad | OneFootball

Manchester United staff have been baffled by England manager Thomas Tuchel’s decision to keep ignoring Luke Shaw from his squad, according to the Sun.

The Man United star has started in all 13 Premier League games for the club this season.

However, the 30-year-old Red Devils left-back last played for his country in July 2024.

Former England boss Gareth Southgate took the Red Devils defender to the 2024 European Championship despite him making just 12 league appearances in 2023-24.

Shaw did not play until the quarter-final of the tournament, but he started the final against Spain as he was a key player under Southgate.

Tuchel has preferred others to Shaw, with Manchester City left-back Nico O’Reilly featuring in the final World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania last month.

Newcastle United’s Dan Burn and Tottenham Hotspur’s Djed Spence appear to be ahead of the Man United star in the pecking order.

Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly was dropped from the squad last month, having been invited in the last two international breaks. It appears that Shaw is also behind him.

He has been playing on the left of Man United manager Ruben Amorim’s back three, and people at the club are convinced that he is having a good season.

Shaw has just one assist in 13 appearances for Man United this term, and he may need to improve in the final third to convince Tuchel if he wants to play at the World Cup.
